Selecting an Energizer for Your Ranching Needs

Farmers and ranchers have selected the electric fence solution when it comes to containing their cows, horses and other livestock because it is an affordable and safe alternative to barbed wire.
Fence chargers are also used to keep predators, like feral pigs, wolves and bear, out of fenced-in areas.
The short pulse of electric current that is delivered when the cow or cattle connects with the electric wire is just enough to keep them from trying to break through the fence.
Farmers and ranchers need to select a fence charger that will deliver enough power to consistently provide the electric pulse necessary regardless of the size of the fenced area, the type of cow or cattle or the ground conditions surrounding the fence.
Installing the wrong type of fence charger can lead to:

Inconsistent delivery of electric shock

Inadequate strength of the electric shock that is delivered

Injury of livestock

Cows, cattle and other livestock damaging the fence

Lack of electrical current in an area with heavy weeds or consistent power outage

Maximizing the use of Electronic Grain Moisture Testers for Greater Profits

This season’s precious grain harvest needs to be checked for moisture content before it can be sold for a profit, as every farmer knows. Moisture has the ability to cripple a whole year’s worth of harvest if it is not checked from time to time. In fact, ignoring such a critical issue it can actually lead to –

Additional costs if the harvested grain is wetter than is acceptable and needs to be dried before it can be sold.

Loss of value for dried grain since it has to be sold for less than its marketable value.

Spoiling the grain if it happens to be wet and is stored under low temperatures or drying bins.
